And that's a big reason why we've missed out on talent.

So the one example we can give you from last summer is Spurs were definitely in for Antoine Semenya then.

Couldn't sort of agree a fee with Bournemouth, couldn't agree personal terms with Semenyo.

Then by the time they're back in for him in January, who was he going to pick?

Spurs, who were in 3-4 under Thomas Francois, Man City, Pep Guardiola going for a title was an easy decision.

And so I think Spurs have recognised they need to start paying players in line with their rivals.

Historically, they've always had one of the lowest...

wage-to-revenue ratios in the Premier League, one of the lowest wage bills in the Premier League, and that needs to change.

They need to be competitive.

They need to be ambitious.

It's not just about what they'd be prepared to offer Tenali.

It's the fact that they've re-signed Porro.

They re-signed Rodrigo Bentancur, Romero, Jed Spence over the last 12 months.

And I'm pretty certain that David reported when Conor Gallagher joined Spurs in January that

He was going to become one of their highest earners.

They're definitely prepared to shell out on wages in a way that hasn't been done before.

But I also think they had to.

Like I said, they finished 17th two seasons in a row.

They have to go to Van Hecker, to Nali, and give them 250,000 reasons a week to join Spurs.

Because otherwise you'd look at that and think, well, no, I'm not convinced.
